Default My C3 was rear ended. Now what?

In an effort to make sure that the repairs are done the right way. I was hoping those with experience might chime in. Yesterday, during one of the most beautiful days of the year. My wife and I were rear ended in our 72 "barn find" Vette. While at a stop light I looked up in the the rear view mirror to find a Honda coming at me, but I couldn't see the drivers head, it was buried under the dash (he was plugging in his cell phone).

Anyway, this car is a very original car aside from the color which makes me even more sick about it. I need to start getting estimates and I want to have it done properly. My son thinks we should take the opportunity to also have it sprayed the original color Warbonet Yellow, which I think is a good idea.

He hit the rear and pushed in the bumpers, which in turn popped them out of the quarters which busted the fiberglass out on the sides. I wonder if just doing a whole new rear clip is the easiest.
